The Miami Dolphins play the Jets in week 14, and New York's head coach believes he knows what it takes to stop the Miami quarterback.

Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley, where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. After forgetting about it for a brief time during the stretch run and playoffs, I got back to the series in November, by making an […]
We’ll be treated to a Sunday afternoon shootout at Madison Square Garden tomorrow at high noon. The Knicks (15-7) will be dueling with the Orlando Magic, who sit at 14-9 and have won seven of their last nine appearances. Any midday game is always a treat to watch, not to mention more unpredictable than usual, […]
I think we can officially call this season off the rails. The Falcons are going nowhere and even the goodwill they got from their victory in New Orleans has now evaporated with a defeat against the lowly New York Jets just a week later. There’s really no other way to put it other than that […]

For the second time in a week, Ilya Sorokin had the Tampa Bay Lightning’s number. After he stopped 27-of-28 shots in the Lightning’s 2-1 loss on December 3, he was even better on Saturday night, denying all 32 shots they threw at him in a 2-0 win. Calum Ritchie broke the scoreless tie in the third period and Casey Cizikas sealed the win with an empty-net goal. Jonas Johansson, making his second start in a row, stopped 17-of-18 shots. Johansson started in place of Andrei Vasilevskiy, who m...
MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Add another team to the list of suitors for free agent and former Yankee Cody Bellinger. The Philadelphia Phillies have apparently thrown their hat in the ring for the versatile lefty slugger. It sounds like Plan A for the Phils remains re-signing Kyle Schwarber. If that’s the case, then […]
To paraphrase a nugget of hockey wisdom: “They don’t ask how, they ask how many.” Hours after the first-place Colorado Avalanche gutted out an unflattering overtime win over the New York Rangers in the NHL, St. John’s survived its own sloppy matchup at Madison Square Garden and inched past Ole Miss in a 63-58 rock […]
It's been talked about ad infinitum (i.e. endlessly ) ever since Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford casually dropped word after last season that his superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes would like to join forces with his NHL brothers Jack & Luke someday. Now, it seems that 'someday' is one step closer. Insider Elliotte Friedman revealed on Hockey Night in Canada , that, for the first time, he can officially say that the New Jersey Devils (hockey home of Jack & L...
This one really hurts. Coming off four consecutive regulation losses, the New Jersey Devils travelled up to Boston to take on a Bruins team that they absolutely needed to beat. It’s true that Boston is off to a better start than most anticipated through the first two months of the season, but this is still […]
The Wolf Pack couldn't withstand an early onslaught, ending their win streak at three games.
This one was a bit of a snoozer to start — not much action, save for Ilya Sorokin standing tall and the Islanders hitting the post a few times. We went into the third period tied at zero, a rarity for this sometimes defensively-challenged team, but a four minute power play helped the Isles break […]
Sometimes the best reminder that you are not sinking is watching someone else tread water. Saturday’s 119-101 win over the New Orleans Pelicans served as a reminder for Nets fans that, as rough as things have looked at times this season, things can always be worse. You could be New Orleans Pelicans fans. With both […]

Nathan MacKinnon scored 2:46 into overtime to give the Colorado Avalanche a 3–2 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. But it definitely didn’t come without a head-scratcher. The Rangers forced overtime with 42 seconds left when Artemi Panarin blasted a one-timer from Mika Zibanejad past Mackenzie Blackwood. Colorado […]
The Nets would’ve won a third straight… if there were only three quarters. They fell to the Utah Jazz in the second night of a back-to-back. Now, they’re up against the struggling Pelicans — who don’t have their own pick this year. So, don’t be fooled. It isn’t supposed to be a tankfest. KEY INFO […]
